The Bayer Array Sensor Extrapolates color data from adjacent pixels Cannot reproduce colors to extreme accuracy without moving a camera to three positions Less expensive to produce than Foveon sensors

So, how do they produce images? Photons strike the sensor, and are converted into electrical charges Charges of pixels are read – CCDs transport the charge across the chip to be read at one corner of the array – CMOS sensors can read charge at each individual pixel. Analog-to-digital conversion of voltages to digital values

What does it mean? This information is sent to a post-processing system, which continues to process incoming data. Post-processing uses numerous algorithms to de-mosaic, reduce image noise, and enhance edges. Images are compressed and saved into their respective format on a hard disk.
